Potential CR Planning/ATP: June 2015

Potential CR Planning

Are you thinking about joining the game? Then you've found the right place! This post is for all prospective players to discuss their characters' AU backgrounds with canonmates and other characters, and to establish pre-existing CR (character relations). The aim is to help you figure out what to write in the background section of your application and to give you a starting point for building CR when you join the game.

You can use this post to:

• Share your ideas on how you'd like to adapt your character's background to the game.
• Ask questions and request feedback on your AU plans.
• Discuss potential shared history with canonmates and build in cross-canon CR.

Please note that nothing discussed here is guaranteed, since not all prospective players will submit an app or be accepted into the game, while others will app without having commented to this post. After the next round of applications have been processed, there will be a follow-up CR planning post for accepted players to confirm initial plans, make changes, and look for new CR.

This post is intended to be an open discussion between current and prospective players, but I'm happy to answer any mod questions you might have too. Happy planning!

For current players
Are there any characters that you'd love to see in the game? Post your requests here! I'll add them to the ATP advert, and who knows, they might inspire someone...

OKAY HI

I'm Hannah and I'm easily enabled and I'm thinking about bringing Isaac Mendez from Heroes in the next app round. In canon, he's a junkie painter/comic book artist who has the ability to paint the future, but generally only when he's high. He's kind of obsessed with being a hero, so he kind of struggles to tow the line between getting clean and getting high to see what's coming so it can stopped.

If I were to AU him, tbh, he'd...just basically be the same. Meta-human, retaining his drug problem and his artistic skills. Probably a London native. I usually find canon Isaac difficult to play in game environments because he's so busy dealing with his own issues that he doesn't willingly interact. I was wondering if anyone more familiar with the game had any ideas there/possible CR to open some doors?

Hook me up, chums.

[whatmatters]

Making him a roommate of someone older and patient might work? Presumably Isaac would get dragged into clan conflicts, people wanting to save him, people wanting to use him, etc.

Alternatively, if I app Sylar, we could au them to be roommates, but obv he'd be a bit of an abusive dick.

[foresaw]

wow i didnt ask you

but bless! that would help a lot. if you feel up to it, he and syloser could def be roommates. i don't think anyone's going to be happy in that scenario.

[whatmatters]

wow r u d e. (♥)

Obv I don't want to hog all your CR but it could be a good excuse for encouragement to continue using and all that dramaz. We'll see if other peeps have ideas though!!

[foresaw]

you ALWAYS hog my CR what would make this time any different?

anyway, sure thing. we can talk about it later.

hanna and isaac should be friends idk how but metahumans and she'll drag him out into life somehow

alternately

get wasted and do drugs with dante isaac. except he'll use it all because it takes too much to get dante totally fucked up

[foresaw]

tbh that's all I need is someone dragging him into life. It probably will help if I AU Simone out of his life as well. who needs her amirite?

but yes both of these things pls

[brickinthewall]

yeah who needs her pft

isaac can sit down and tell hanna all about the hero struggles cause she was there once too except she gave up on that sry bruh
